EasyInterview vs Ribbon

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

EasyInterview

$0.20/min

Pay per minute AI phone screener built for bulk hiring in India, calling every eligible applicant in their own language and returning a ranked shortlist. A typical screen costs about $1.20 to $1.60 from a prepaid wallet, but the job channels and compliance notes all point at the Indian market.

Where EasyInterview fits

  • High volume sales, support and field hiring in India
  • Teams screening hundreds of applicants per role
  • Buyers who want to pay per screen with no seats

Ribbon

$199/mo Free trial

Voice AI interviewer for screening at volume. Starter is $199/mo billed monthly with 50 interviews; paid plans start with a free trial.

Where Ribbon fits

  • TA teams running high-volume voice screens
  • Companies on Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or Workday
  • Independent recruiters who want a $199 monthly plan with no commitment
  • Top-of-funnel screening, not final-round interviews

Where they pull apart

EasyInterview

Stands out: Candidates are phoned in 11 languages at a time they pick on WhatsApp, and the AI probes answers with follow ups rather than reading a script, with every score tied to a timestamp in the call.

Watch out: Built around Indian job boards (Naukri, Apna, foundit) and Indian calling rules, so US teams should check calling consent and channel fit first. The wallet starts at $100 and ATS export only arrives with the $500 Growth top up.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams hiring through US job boards
  • Low volume or senior hiring
  • Teams that need ATS export on a small budget

Ribbon

Stands out: A public monthly grid ($199 / $499 / $999) with no commitment, plus Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, Workday, and Workable named.

Watch out: Each plan has an included interview count and extra interviews cost $3 each. Overage will dominate a busy week.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that will not use AI voice
  • Executive search

EasyInterview
